An Interesting Budget Culled
frsm the UGazette.1
The rumor announced in the Gazette
some months ago to the effect that the
building of seminary was contem-
Mated in Anaheim has at last crystal
lized into a fact, and we are now
authorized to announce that the work
Of constructing the building will begin
at once. Sister Pia, Lady Superior of
the Dominican Convent of San Fran
cisco, was in Anaheim last week, and
selected the location for the seminary.
1t is two acres on the northeast corner
of Vineyard ID 6, on Palm street. The
purchase was consummated on Mon
day, and Sister Pia has gone
i. to San Francisco, from which
place she will send plans for
erecting the building within a
week or ten days. The first building
to be erected will probably not cost
less than $4,000, and additions will
be made thereto as required. Sister
Pia gives assurance that the seminary
pills by the first OF next January.
The establishment OF this institu-
tion here is Aattering testimonial to
Anaheim, because it was secured
after an active competition with other
towns in Southern California. The
question of climate was one of the
chief factors in deciding the location,
as the Sisters are always mindful OF
the health of their pupils. A very
thorough investigation was made into
the merits of the different towns, and
it is therefore complimentary to Ana
helm that it has secured the prize.
An acre Of land has also been pur-
chased adjoining the two acres secured
by the Sisters, for building Catholic
church of imposing appearance and OF
a style to correspond with the semi
nary buildings.
THE HOTEL.
Among the real estate transactions
fled for record in the Office OF the
County Recorder on Saturday was the
following:
r. and M. Luedke to Anaheim I'M
provement Company-Vineyard Lot
z 2, Anaheim, less strip for railroad
depot purposes; $4,000.
On the same day the Company also
purchased the adjoinining twenty acres
from Melrose & Kroeger, and endorsed
the survey which had been made of
the two tracts, and transacted a guam
tity of business tending to speedy
commencement of work ON the hotel.
The contract for the brick work has
been let to Chas. SCHNEIDER, who prom
ises to push the work with all possible
haste.
The important and delicate work of
giving the hotel a name was solved by
manning it "Hotel del Campo" which
is a euphonious and smooth sounding
appellation. The land surrounding
the hotel is to be known as the "Ho-
eel del Campo tract" and the map
thereof has been duly recorded. These
lots are now for sale at very low prices,
and can be purchased through any
real estate agent or from any member
of the company. 1t is as certain as
the rising of the sun that the first pur-
chasers of these lots will at least dou-
bile their money within six months.
There is going to be revolution in
real estate matters here within very
few weeks, and there never was bet
ter opportunity than the present to
make profitable investments.
The officers of the company are
Theo. Reiser, president; j. H. Bull
lard, president; S. Littlefield,
treasurer; A. Goldthwaite, secretary.
The above gentlemen, together with
Messrs. Melrose, Kroeger and Hamil-
ton, constitute the board OF directors.
INCORPORATED.
Articles of incorporation were filed
on Monday by the Richfield Land and
Water Company. Richfeld is the
proposed new town on the Shanklin
ranch. The purposes for which this
corporation is formed are to acquire,
purchase buy and sell and improve
the Hazard subdivision of the Shank
lin tract; to subdivide, manage and
improve said lands; to acquire, pur-
chase, develop, maintain and dispose
of water and water rights; to con-
struct reservoirs and pipe lines for
said water, and to do all things nec
essary and proper to further the in
terests of the corporation. The num-
ber of directors to be five, and those
appointed for the first year are Jesse
Yarnell, w. H. Bonsall, H. T. Hazard,
George o. Ford and Ii. c. Wilmer, all
Of Los Angeles. The amount OF capi
tai stock to be $ll2, 800, divided into
i125 shares of 500 each, of which
$S3, 200 has been subscribed.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The G. w. Burton tract, better
known as the Cowan place, is being
subdivided into lots of five acres and
upward, which will be sold upon the
distribution plan. Eighteen shares
will be offered at $4,000 per share. and
the purchasers will distribute the diff
ferent subdivisions among themselves
by lot or otherwise. None OF the sub
divisions are worth less than the
amount asked for the share, and there
is the additional incentive of the pros
pect of drawing the splendid two-story
brick residence, worth alone about
$1,000.
Water pipe to be laid in the town OF
st. James was hauled from the Ana
helm depot to that place last week. A
force OF men were at work on Sunday
digging trench at Olive Heights near
Antune's saloon some eight feet deep
and four feet wide, in which to lay the
railroad company's water pipe, it be-
ing more than two feet in diameter.
There is great activity at Dreyfus &
Co.'s winery at present. Half dozen
or more teams loaded with grapes can
be seen at almost any time during the
day standing behind one another,
waiting for their turn to unload.
The Zinfandel grapes which Drey-
fus & Co. have been crushing during
the week have weighed as much as 25
per cent of saccharine matter. Grapes
have developed sugar much earlier in
the season than usual.
.Mr. de Morainville is now subdivid-
ing Mr.. Reiser's vineyard into town
lots.
